Answer:


x=7

Explanation:


As\ we\ are\ given\ that\ l\ \parallel m\ \parallel n,\\We\ can\ tell\ that\ l \parallel n\\As\ we\ know\ that\ if\ two\ lines\ are\ parallel, then\ the\ pair\ of\ corresponding\ angles\\formed\ are\ equal.\\Hence,\\As\ (8x-17)\ and\ (4x+11)\ are\ corresponding,\ they\ are\ equal.\\Hence,\\8x-17=4x+11\\8x-4x=11+17\\4x=28\\x=28/4\\


x=7
